The Vulcan represented a major breakthrough because it was the first truly safety approved compact, lightweight, waterproof lantern that was big on power. And talk about tough! It’s almost impossible to destroy a Vulcan. Buildings collapse on them, trucks drive over them, fires scorch them, and they keep shining. Their compact size and durable waterproof construction, combined with a powerful beam and multiple recharge lifespan, make the Vulcan lantern ideal for the most demanding jobs.
